Apple expects to release two new MacBook Pro models, the MacBook Pro 2021 14-inch and MacBook 2021 16-inch, both with the powerful new M1X chip Both models are said to offer brighter, more colorful mini LED displays

Interestingly, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that the new MacBook Pro will also be the first new design in five years Fans are hoping for the return of MagSafe charging and more ports, but it remains to be seen if that will happen

Last-minute rumors of a MacBook Pro 2021 indicate that the new MacBook Pro design will have a notch to house a webcam (like an iPhone), which seems a bit outlandish even for Apple

The Apple AirPods 3 is also very likely We expect a design with a shorter stem, touch controls, and interchangeable silicone ear tips However, we do not expect active noise cancellation

The Mac mini is also expected to make an appearance at this month's event Not only is it rumored to feature the latest Apple silicon and offer a compact number-crunching machine at a great price, but it may also drop the all-aluminum finish of the current model in favor of a sleek new design

Gurman's Power On newsletter claims that the new Mac mini will have a total of four Thunderbolt ports Jon Prosser, a prominent leaker at Front Page Tech, also claims that the Mac mini will have a "plexiglass" top and a magnetic power connector like the iMac 2021
